    for what its worth, there is no publicly revealed proof that

    United Airlines Flight 93 was crashed by the passengers.

    It makes a great story, and it was a rallying point after September 11th, but it may very well not be true.

    The cockpit voice recorders have never been played for the public. There is a good reason why.

    It is highly probable that a military aircraft intercepted and shot down United 93 - why was one of the engines found far from the debris field of the crash site if the aircraft was intact upon impact...?

    The government knew that the public could not handle the truth - that the US military intervened to stop the 9/11 attacks by shooting down an unarmed passenger aircraft.

    It's not a conspiracy theory - it's Occam's razor...
